Russia using convicts to fight Ukraine

Putin has run out of regular soldiers so he’s working his way though Russias prisons in an effort to replenish his forces with fresh troops. They are promised 200,000 Rubles a month ($5,000 US) and freedom if they last 6months on the front line with only 5 days training.

Soon he will run out of prisoners … maybe then he will resort to child soldiers like they do in west Africa.

North Korea offered 100,000 troops to Russia. You may be fighting Koreans before long too.

@MrAboo That wouldn’t surprise me. Although if Putin ever gets beyond Ukraine he will encounter NATO forces and armor which will be a different ball game than Ukraine civilian turned fighters.
